Following a solid performance over this course and distance last start, the horse settled back in the field after a slow break. It made its move during the middle stages, finishing strongly to secure second, beaten by half a length. This time, burdened with an 11lb penalty and drawn wide, a similar hold-up tactic appears likely. While the draw isn’t ideal and late speed might be a concern against this opposition, favourable pacing within the race could allow for redemption.
